A Fortunate Baby.

A dispatch from Washington says
"Baby" Whitney is eight days old. She
has as yet no other name. "The President
calls her the latest Cabinet bud. Her
apartment is reom across the hall from
the chamber i'll which she was born. There
is wood fire in a CRATE before which
stands a small rack full of the baby cl othes
being nicely toasted. The cradle is u
wickerwork basket swung between two up
rights of bamboo. 1t is lined with blue
silk and padded with elder. The canopy is
covered with blue silk and draped with eri-
entail lace, with the edge in rose point pat
tern. The sides of the crib are draped with
oriental lace; large blue satin bows are tied
at each corner, and the cover is a downy,
blue silk comfort. The toilet basket is
garnished to match, with blue satin bows
and upholstered in blue silk. The pin
cushions and pouches are of blue silk, and
the uprights and wicker are gilded."
Babies are all sweet and pretty, but when
they are surrounded with such luxurious
and beautiful trappings as those described
above, they cannot be otherwise than "psr-
fectly lovely" "Too sweet for anything"
is only faint praise to such one as s'Baby''
Whitney, and she is said to be the image of
the happy Sacretary.-Lynchburg VirGi.-

VI here Is 1t To End ?

Mr.. Royal has sued the members of the
grand jury that indicted him for barratry,
and Mr.. Wyndham r. Meredith and the
Indemnity Board for aiding and advising the
grand jury to do so, in the United States
Circuit Court for $40, 000 - Richmond
Times.
Well, we should think it would end
about where it commonwealth smoke and
gas. The law of which Mr.. Royal com
plains is State law and the jury State
jury. What has Judge Bond or any other
United States court to do with it? And if
Mr.. Royal was aggrieved at the action of a
grand jury of his own vicinage why did he
not appeal to bis own State courts and jury
for redress, and afterwards take his appeal
to the higher courts?
The whole conduct of Nr. Royal in this
matter argues badly for that gentleman,
both as Virginian, which he is, and q
lawyer of fine attainments. II he is afraid
to face the music before court and jury
of his own city, then he must think his
cause a very desperate one indeed, or his
community very corrupt; and if he wishes
to upset and abolish the action and authority
Of all State courts and juries, then he has
turned enemy TO the State rights and fund
ameDtal principles of Cur form of govern
ment, and the liberties of the people
In CUR opinion even Judge Bond will
never give him a hearing under such an ex-
traordinary and visionary appeal further
than to dismiss the case as foreign to his
jurisdiction. Lynchburg Aduance.

ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY.-On last
Friday night, G. o. Rhodes who has re-
sided here for the last year, was arrested,
charged with breaking into the Ware
House Of Mr.. J. V. Jamison in this place
and blowing open his iron safe. Notice of
the burglary was given in this paper at the
time. 1t would seem that suspicion was
directed to him at the time from certain
circumstances that TRANSFERRED and his move
ments were watched. On Friday morning,
box was taken to the depot by his son,
small boy, just as the North bound train
pulled into the station, to be shipped by
express to a man named Griffin in New
York. The box was net shipped by that
train and warrant was issued by Justice
Hampton upen application of Mr.. Jamisop,
and the box was taken in charge. 1t was
found to contain a dark lantern, powder,
fuse, wedges &C., &c, claimed to be a
burglars outfit. The case was heard by
Justice Hampton on Saturday and sent
on to the grand jury, the defence
putting in no evidence. We do not
believe in condemning man before he
is heard or in saying anything calculated
to arouse prejudice and therefore have no
comments to make.-Poge Ne,cs.
The election by the Texas Legislature of
Hon. John II. Reagan to be United States
senator is deserved tribute to the public
services of this well-known man. It was
through his efforts more than through those
of any other member of either House of
Congress that the recent important leglsla-
ton in defence of the people against the
wrongs OF railroad corporations has been
carried out. For years he has patiently
and persistently striven in the face of we'll
nigh insurmountable obstacles and in spite
of the most strenuous opposition of power
fu foes, as we'll as the most sluggish in
difference of many of those who should have
been his friends. 1t is fit that the passage
of the Inter State Commerce bill should be
marked by the promotion to the United
States Senate of the man who did more
than any other to bring this great measure
to completion Richmond State.

ments; that the Richmond Light Infantry
Blues, the only separate white company, be
assigned to regiment; that full supply
of camp equipage be supplied to all com
panies, and that all muzzle-loaders and
other useless property be sold; that orders
be issued requiring target practice, skirmish
drill and guard duty; that reasonable allow
